I’d thought I go and check out the Cenotaph in London before they took away the wreaths and pay my respects. At the same time I had planned to visit the Household Cavalry Museum, however that was closed due to the state visit from the South Korean president and his wife. This isn’t the first time a state visit has interrupted my plans either and probably not the last!!
Only just started in the British Museum is the Burma to Myanmar exhibit that explores the few treasures that have come from the country. And there are some amazing pieces on display, from a gold letter to the King of England that went un-replied. To an intricate ivory chair.
You get a bit of a glimpse into the art that has come from the country but due to constant conflict there, there is a sense of limitations in the exhibit. Like so many subjects there is a vast story to tell and the scope isn’t there. A pebble in the sea of what information they could have given? What is on offer may give some insight, however to me it’s just showing off what they have in the British Museum collection.
